Cultural Commodification and Ethical Transition of Tourism Development: A Case in Osing Community, Indonesia
No full textTourism development in many cases induces various socio-cultural consequences at the local community level. In Banyuwangi, local government commoditizes traditional rites of the Osing community for tourism purposes. Framed by Granovetter’s social embeddedness and Bentham’s utilitarianism, this study investigated the socio-cultural consequences of tourism development and portrayed how it influenced ethics in tourism activities of the Osing community.

Although the cultural commodification was identified, the ethical economic activities remained on collective values, or so called as collective utilitarianisms. The cultural commodification derived to widen social networks, yet the communal ethical economy remained the same.

The Urgency of Institutional Development of Cassava Industry in Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta and Jawa Tengah
No full text The study shows that there was variation in the process of cassava-based food production. In Daerah Istimewa Yogyakarta (DIY) and Central Java, the farming systems were still subsistence oriented as the members still carried out traditional farming and worked without practicing intensive farming. However, the cassava-based food processing had already been commercially oriented. Some farmers have successfully collaborated with the larger cassava industry who were profit and commercially oriented. Some agribusiness units required specific varieties, but others opened to any varieties of cassava. The various arrangements have created different patterns of partnership. There were three types of business partnerships namely (1) growers and small-scale manufacturers; (2) partnership among growers, raw material processors, food manufacturers, and distributors or sellers; and (3) partnership among growers, small or large manufacturers and distributors or sellers. Among those three patterns, some enterprises had already performed a business-oriented processing method and quality assurance which requires best quality of raw cassava. This is resulted in a better selling price. Business partnerships can guarantee the sustainability of business relationships among business units. A better upstream-downstream relation needs to be developed to prevent the risks of raw materials supply
Sodality in Peri-Urban Community Empowerment: Perspective of Development Communication and Extension Science
Full text linkPemberdayaan masyarakat semakin penting di dalam pembangunan masyarakat dan konsep sodality buah pikiran Tjondronegoro mendapatkan momentum untuk diaplikasikan dalam konteks yang lebih luas. Sodality relevan dengan pendekatan partisipatif dalam pengembangan masyarakat, penyuluhan/ pemberdayaan dan komunikasi pembangunan pada umumnya. Tujuan penelitian ini ingin menjawab permasalahan tentang bagaimana peran sodality dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat peri urban dari perspektif ilmu komunikasi dan penyuluhan pembangunan. Metode penelitian ini menggunakan kaji tindak partisipatif dengan menempatkan peneliti hidup bersama masyarakat. Sodaliti ternyata dapat dimaknai sebagai daya hidup suatu kesatuan masyarakat yang khas, meski tanpa ada hubungan keluarga namun di antara mereka terikat oleh sinergi hubungan kepentingan, tanpa menghapus hubungan primer. Dalam konteks pemberdayaan, ikatan dalam sodaliti lebih diwarnai kepentingan untuk meraih pemenuhan kebutuhan hidup di antara warga masyarakat. Dengan demikian pada masyarakat peri-urban, sodaliti lebih dekat dengan makna social capital yang efektif memperkuat upaya masyarakat dalam menjalani kehidupan bersama, baik dengan pihak internal maupun eksternal. Konsep sodality versi Tjondronegoro di era kekinian tidak hanya untuk kesatuan masyarakat terkecil dalam teritori komunitas, namun dapat diperkuat dengan makna adanya sinergi kepentingan dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidup suatu masyarakat.Tjondronegoro\u27s concept of sodality is gaining momentum to be applied in a broader context. Sodality is relevant to participatory approaches in community development, extension/empowerment, and development communication. This study aims to answer how the role of sodality is in the empowerment of peri-urban communities from communication and extension development sciences. This research method uses a participatory action study by placing the researcher to live with the community. Sodality can be interpreted as the life force of a unique community unit. However, without any family relationship, they are bound by a synergy of interest relations without eliminating the primary relationship. In the context of empowerment, the bonds in sodality are colored more with interest in achieving life necessities among community members. Thus, in peri-urban communities, sodality is closer to the meaning of social capital, which effectively strengthens the community\u27s efforts to live a life together, both with internal and external parties. The Tjondronegoro version of the concept of sodality in the current era is not only for the smallest community unit in the community territory, but it can be strengthened by the meaning of a synergy of interests in meeting the needs of a community

Full text linkModernisasi teknologi pertanian telah mendominasi aktivitas pertanian di Gorontalo. Tulisan ini mendeskripsikan perubahan praktik pertanian jagung dari berbasis kearifan lokal dan solidaritas sosial menjadi berbasis teknologi. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan menjadikan 25 petani sebagai partisipan untuk didalami pengetahuannya dan diamati aktivitas pertaniannya. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa praktik pertanian berbasis kearifan lokal sudah tidak ditemukan lagi. Kearifan lokal ini terdiri dari tradisi mopo’a huta dan panggoba sebagai sistem pertanian yang berbasis solidaritas sosial dan ramah lingkungan. Tradisi ini berganti dengan sistem pertanian modern yang dianggap lebih efektif dengan hasil produksi yang melimpah. Modernisasi di dalam sistem pertanian selain memberikan efek yang baik juga telah mengakibatkan banyak perubahan, baik secara ekonomi, sosial budaya dan ekologi. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa sebagai akibat dari modernisasi pertanian jagung: 1) telah terjadi pergeseran tenaga kerja dan modal, 2) terjadi pergeseran kearifan lokal, dan 3) terjadi degradasi lingkungan dan ketimpangan sosial.Modernization of agricultural technology has dominated farming activities in Gorontalo. This paper describes the change of farming practices from local wisdom and social solidarity to modern technology. The research used a qualitative approach with 25 farmers as participants with the aim to explore their knowledge and observe their farming activities. This study found that local farming practices are no longer in existence. This local wisdom consists of the traditions of mopo\u27a huta and panggoba as farming systems which are based on social solidarity and are environmentally friendly.
